Books are often the same, which requires a lot of manpower, and they are transcribed and engraved on bamboo slips one by one. That's why idioms such as 'sweat cows are full' and 'learn to be rich and five cars' have been spread.

From this, we can see the importance of books to these poor scholars.

In the next step, Wen Chou wants to start in this regard, are you still afraid that these scholars will be on the shelf? Of course, these are just some of Wen Chou's ideas, and how to operate it needs to be further planned.

The first thing is to solve the problem of book sources, if you want to impress these scholars, you must need some rare and precious books, and those "Urgent Chapters" and "Filial Piety" on the side of the road will not be on the stage. Although it may not be that these poor scholars have any great knowledge, ordinary books are definitely not good! In this regard, Wen Chou has three or four ideas: one is the three elders of the township, Jiang Cheng, the other is Jiang Hui, the county order, or the collection of books of the rich families in the township, and the other is to go to the county to ask for some books at a high price!

Furthermore, what to do with these books will not only enable these scholars to come and use them for him, but also save time and effort. Of course, it is not possible to give books directly to them! He has not yet made such a big move, even if there are not many families who dare to do this today. Wen Chou's idea was to establish a way of borrowing and renting, similar to the public libraries of later generations, where all the books that could be collected were copied into several copies and placed in a public house for people to borrow and rent. Of course, this requires a long period of accumulation before it can form a certain scale. But it's also a better way. Of course, the price of borrowing and leasing is not money in the ordinary sense!

The second is how to comprehensively promote some knowledge books that belong to these scholars that belong to the ordinary and popular to the villagers! He didn't have the energy and financial resources to make 20,000 villagers have several books in their hands, even though these books were quite common among the poor scholars. His idea was to erect a few more large stone tablets in the pavilion, on which the stonemasons would engrave the written books to make it easier for the villagers to study.

Think of it and do it, this is the consistent way of Wen Chou!

Wen Chou first found the military Sima Jiang Xuan and the secretary Chen Ning to ask their opinions and suggestions, after all, one person is short in wisdom and everyone is long in wisdom!

As soon as Wen Chou said the above thoughts, Chen Ning's eyes suddenly lit up and he was amazed. And Jiang Xuan's reaction was relatively light, and there was a hint of unhappiness, after all, it was related to the prosperity of his family. Moreover, his family is also a big family, and he is not very interested in the idea that this can comprehensively improve the cultural level of the villagers. Chen Ning is different, he has not yet left the category of poor households, and he is in favor of this kind of measure that is beneficial to the poor.

"I am sincere, in fact, this will not cause your family to lose anything, the collection of books in your house, some of which are not precious to you, are already precious and abnormal for this poor scholar, I think you also understand. Even if these books are taken out, we will only reproduce them once, and it will not cause damage to them, besides, the township sergeant will respect and admire your Jiang family even more, why not do it? Seeing Jiang Xuan's somewhat unhappy face, Wen Chou earnestly persuaded him.

"Well, this matter, this matter is still discussed by Wen Jun and his father in detail, after all, the stakes are very high, and I can't be the master in the future. But if this happens, it will be a great merit. Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

"Hehe, Jiang Gong Gaode, I won't think about it, I will stop it more." Wen Chou said happily.

"If this matter is successful, Wenjun will have a great contribution!" Chen Ning couldn't help but admire

Later, the three of them talked about some specific matters, including the training of soldiers, the construction of Taolinsai, the recruitment of soldiers in the next step, and the construction of villagers' culture as mentioned by Fang Cai. However, the three of them admired each other's knowledge and opinions, and they all benefited a lot. The insight of the literati was sublimated in such discussions and justifications.

It wasn't until it was getting late that the three of them dispersed.

The next day, Wen Chou said goodbye to Taolinsai and his staff early, hurried back to the township, and went to be busy for his great cause of gathering the poor scholars.

When I went to Chen Pengli before, I went to pay homage to Jiang Cheng, the third elder of the township.

It happened that Jiang Chengzhong's disciples gathered under his disciples to discuss the disadvantages of the times and talk about the latest news. What he said is nothing more than what Wen Chou has done recently. After all, this is a major event that originated around him, and it affected his own life, so he is more concerned.

But when I saw a middle-aged gentleman wearing a green cloth robe and a square face, he said: "The Chinese monarch of the township, do not avoid danger, and lead the team to go to other counties to buy grain for the consumption of the displaced people, which can be described as benevolent and righteous!" ”

When a young Confucian student heard this, he echoed: "Collect the homeless, eliminate the thieves, and help the old and the young, the orphans and widows!" There is a rank of Wenjun. It can be called Degao. ”

"No, everyone only saw that it pacified tens of thousands of displaced people, but don't you know that it exposed the villagers to great danger?" The other, a slightly older scholar, retorted.

"Exactly, not to mention far away, not long ago, regardless of the safety of the villagers, he insisted on leading people to other counties when he knew that the crowd was around. This makes the defense of the township even weaker! I almost suffered a thief disaster! How can you see it? But smell it! A gentleman said angrily.

"How can it be seen that Wen Jun didn't consider the stakes? Don't you see, the picture is as stable as ever, and the villagers have enough food? The square-faced scholar who had spoken earlier retorted.

"This is the son of the world who is cautious about the danger and the imminent danger, so that the township can be stable. How can there be a relationship between the Wen family? Moreover, the part he received caused nearly forty-one damages, and it may not be able to reveal it? The man said urgently.

"No, I would like to say that staying behind and Wen Jun going out is exactly what Wen Jun arranged and arranging, it can be seen that Wen Jun has the insight and foresight of people! Besides, the loss of manpower, this is an unknown situation, if it is an ordinary person, every 3,000 horses, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out long ago, then can you still lead people out of the encirclement?" The young man, exalted the Tao. It seems that he admires Wen Chou quite a lot.

For a time, the church was divided into two factions, one group admired Wen Chou's actions, believing that Wen Chou was working for the welfare of the villagers, worthy of the title of 'parents';

The people of the two factions quarreled so much that they had their own reasons, and no one could convince anyone! In the end, according to the usual practice, bowed in front of Jiang Cheng and asked Jiang Cheng to arbitrate and resolve doubts. "Master, what do you think Wen Jun did when he came in?"

Jiang Cheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of Wenjun's ambition?" ”

"Wenjun's ambition?"

"What? Chi"

For a while, everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what Jiang Chengzhi meant.

"What did the master say, what Wenjun said in the countryside 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations'?" The young man spoke with joy.

"Well, that's exactly what the sons think?" Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"That's what the Master said,"

"I heard this sentence at the time."

For a while, everyone suddenly realized, after all, this is what Wen Chou said, a rare word of great ambition. These well-known scholars in their hometown naturally know. It's just that Jiang Cheng asked suddenly, and everyone didn't think of this.

"It's an ambition, but it's ridiculous at the same time!" A scholar said disdainfully.

"Exactly, a martial artist who wields a knife and a gun, how can he come to 'continue to learn for the sake of the saints'!" One chimed in.

"That is, the ambition, how can the current capital be discussed? This is just the direction of Wenjun's struggle, if I want to say it, I am afraid that he is not under you and me, I am afraid that it is far better! The square-faced scholar said frankly. I admire Wen Chou.

"That is, how can this be the language of a martial artist? Besides, since Wen Jun took office, have you ever seen him act recklessly? I once heard that he was in Ding Worry, and he read the classics of Zhuzi, which is true! The younger gentleman said respectfully.

Here, Jiang Chengzhu's disciples were arguing, and the protagonist they were talking about was riding a horse towards them.

Soon, Wen Chou stood in front of Jiang Chengyuan and said loudly: "Wen Chou Zixiao, come to pay homage to Jiang Gong!" ”

"Hehe, it's really a coincidence, all the sons follow the old man, and they have a good order." Jiang Cheng said with a smile when he heard this.

Needless to say, everyone has good etiquette. Wen Chou was not arrogant, and treated Jiang Cheng with disciple courtesy, which made Jiang Cheng feel very happy.

In the hall, when Wen Chou knew that everyone was talking about his ambitious words, he couldn't help but chuckle: "The kid's vulgar words for a while made the master laugh when he saw the king." ”

Jiang Cheng saw that Wen Chou didn't want to talk about this issue, so he immediately asked, "Why did you come to the humble house in person?" ”

Wen Chou immediately said that he wanted to borrow books to prepare for the construction of the library, and said his thoughts one by one, so as to listen to the suggestions of Jiang Cheng and the sons in the hall.

When the princes heard this, many of them had bright eyes, and only a few of them frowned. And Jiang Chengqi and his people hit the case with their hands for a long time, Fang said: "Wenjun has the intention of serving the township and the people, and the old man is not embarrassed, I borrowed this scroll." It is good that there is a rank of 'learning for the sake of the saints'! But there must be no mistakes. ”

Wen scandal said, Daxi, I originally prepared a few sets of rhetoric, but I didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so enlightened and righteous! It was prepared in vain. I immediately thanked him. The sons in his hall also admired and praised his teacher's virtue and righteousness.

Then there was a few other things to be discussed! It made Wen Chou shout that this trip was worthwhile! After all, there are so many discussions among scholars, and one opinion per person is more than a dozen. For something, even if anyone is negligent, there will be someone else to add a thing or two! This strengthened Wen Chou's determination to gather these scholars! After all, no matter how wise and martial he is, he still can't do everything.

Later, Jiang Cheng took Wen Chou to visit his family's collection of books, and made a list of the books that could be lent to Wen Chou, so that he would not repeat the books he was ready.
